Special issue of the Journal of Advertising on Social Change and the Role of Advertising Regulation

Special issue of the Journal of Advertising on Social Change and the Role of Advertising Regulation: New Challenges and Opportunities.

As advertising grapples with AI generated content, platform governance, online harms, sustainability claims and consumer vulnerability, this issue seeks theoretically grounded and empirically rich work that advances our understanding of how advertising regulation shapes markets and social outcomes.

We warmly welcome conceptual, empirical and multidisciplinary contributions that engage with contemporary regulatory challenges across global contexts.

The submission deadline is 31 July 2026 and we would be delighted to see work from across the advertising, marketing, policy and social change communities.
